Do I need a stats course to apply?

[Banxe]

Hi all,

I am entering my senior year in an interdisciplinary program, but thinking toward Anthro for grad school. I have not taken any stats courses since high school and am wondering how important in might be for grad school. I know other social science disciplines like to see it.

I tried taking a basic stats course last year, but after looking at the sylabus, I realized I had learned it all in my IB stats course in high school. I can take a special stats course for social science, which would be useful, but since I am thinking of taking time off between now and grad school, I would rather just take stats in grad school if need be.

What would your advice be on this?

Thanks!

I think this is one of those could help, but won't hurt situations. None of the programs I have seen so far have required stats. However you may want to check into your specific anthro field/topic of choice to verify this... I took a social science stats course in my undergrad and it found it helpful just to me personally, even if quite a bit of it was a review.
